I'll always go for the extra leg room seats if available though. The Dreamliner is a nice, quiet, comfortable airplane anyway but not sure how I feel about it being made of 'composite' rather than metal and the landings are always bloody awful.
The amount of in-flight films on offer, as well as a bewildering choice of music available to listen to on modern air frames is more than enough to keep me entertained. Before I would just read a book, or sleep.

Regarding the in-flight food, well that depends on the carrier as to what is served; but most decent carriers the cabin staff will come round with a menu and a choice of options. Whatever I choose, I eat it all as I've paid for it, and there is rarely anything I don't like.
